It’s been a year since I worked here at AOV.

Akalain mo nga namang aabot ako ng isang taon dito. On my first few months, I wanted to resign. I wanted to leave because I feel alone. I missed the people who used to be with me in College and I got no friends na makakacheka all the time. Mahiyain kasi ako. :( and I can’t easily blend with other people na bago ko lng na kilala.

‘Twas hard adjusting, given that it was my first time to be with a group na wala ako masyadong kilala at kaclose. I cried many times. I distanced myself from the people here. I was not myself. I was used to being with FAL and my friends, my comfort zone— the people whom I am close with.

I decided to venture here to be independent. I thought it was easy, but hell no it isn’t. However, it’s fun to be free, to know and be with other people and I know that I’ll definitely learn a lot from the experience.

While denying to myself that I should move on with my life, I learned that the people here are kind and in fact, treat each other as a family. Step by step, I coped up, and here I am, so far happy with my job. I’ve learned a lot and am hoping to learn more.

With regards officemates and boss, their the kindest people on earth—and it would be hard to leave them. I think I’m also lucky working here since I have an opportunity to impart and developed/nurtured my skills. I really learned a lot  from here.

As of today, I could not say that I feel complete. I still feel that something is missing. I dunno what or how would I know what it is.

I dunno how long I will stay here, but one thing is for sure, this is my first job and this will leave a big mark in my heart since I’ve experienced a lot of firsts here. :)
